THICKER THAN BLOOD’s place in the Guardian series This is the sixth story in the Guardian series (counting novellas). This book follows DEMON NIGHT, but this story is when I finally pulled my head out of my ass regarding novellas and learned to tell a side story — something connected to the overall arc, but […]
This and many of the following posts will be shorter than the original two-part retrospective posts, primarily because all of the “How did you start the series?” introductory stuff is over. If there’s something that I don’t address, however, or if I skip something that you’re curious about, please feel free to ask me. DEMON […]

Okay, well! The scheduling of these posts didn’t happen as I intended while I was gone. So I will be posting them manually today and tomorrow, every few hours.

That was Falling for Anthony (you can see those retrospective posts here). But this was the story that started […]
Re-Reading “Falling for Anthony” Okay, well — the tl;dr version of what follows is: It’s not as bad as I feared and not as awesome as I would like. This isn’t going to be a review with a plot summary or anything. I’m going to assume that everyone has read this, because otherwise a lot […]
Writing “Falling for Anthony” Falling for Anthony’s place in the Guardian series This was the first story published in the Guardian series, but not the first story I began writing. That was Demon Angel (and I’ll go into that book’s history more on its post), which is Hugh and Lilith’s romance. I had several chapters […]
Sorry for the lack of posts this week. My daughter had a day camp at a college across the river, and rather than waste all my time driving back and forth, I stayed at the library and worked (but didn’t have access to the college network, alas.) But I did start writing the retrospective post […]
